Colleen’s 2020 Weekly #Tanka Tuesday #Poetry Challenge No. 179, #ThemePrompt

“How far that little candle throws his beams! So shines a good deed in a weary world.”

― William Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice

I have written a Gogyohka on the quote.

Love is a beacon of hope,

A dazzling trail on stormy seas,

A solace to beleaguered souls lost,

Love is avarice tainted now,

As the suffering humanity laments.
